Reviews

'The most challenging and significant work on Wales since devolution.'- Dr Huw Williams, Cardiff University; 'This is not a comfortable read, but essential for anyone who wants to grasp the curious state of Wales today. In is a relentlessly challenging narrative, the author forces us to rethink our understanding of the forces that have shaped modern Welsh life. Can we hold Nonconformist Liberal values responsible for the language crisis and our patchy notions of Welsh nationhood? Simon Brooks makes a very convincing case.'- Huw Edwards, BBC News
